You are all obsessed by the oriental style and tsuba like guard.
You are a bit like computers with 0 and 1 only...
Please look at Hales book and you will see an Ottoman naval sword with the same kind of guard...
Second the hilt is very similar to some silver flyssa and some of them have so called Ottoman scabbards...
I won't be surprised if this sword was made in Algiers...
